The Åke Blomström Award (ABA)^[1] was established in 1986 as the "Åke Blomström Memorial Prize" in honour of Åke Blomström (31/12 1931–31/5 1985) for many years Head of Documentaries at Swedish Radio and deeply committed to the work of his young colleagues. It serves to promote the development of talented young radio documentary makers in the participating countries.

The Idea behind the prize

Åke Blomström was always concerned about young radio talents, especially independent practitioners, who were at the beginning of their career as feature makers. This took practical form in three stages: a) discovering them b) furthering the careers of those with talent, c) finally, having them present their best works in competitions, thus giving them international recognition.

The Award Process

The task of "discovering and promoting" has been carried out within the framework of the annual International Feature Conference. The task of "providing international recognition" has been carried out within the framework of the Prix Futura Berlin. The choice of winners has been carried out by a "Selection Committee", according to certain requirements, and has been financed by participating associates, from countries all around the world, for more than 30 years.
